Banana Cake

This banana bread is as close to the quintessential loaf as you can find, with mashed ripe bananas (the riper the better) imparting flavor and incredible moistness, and chopped walnuts lending welcome crunch and toasty flavor. What sets this recipe apart is that it calls for a pinch of fennel seeds in addition to ground cinnamon for the spice notes, and a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweet factor. Bake, slice, and serve.
